With the regular season inching closer, spring camp is ramping up as players increase their workloads in preparation for a season that is now just three weeks away. The Detroit Tigers have begun the process of winnowing the roster down to the 25 players destined to head north with the club. Numerous reassignments were announced on Friday.
Right-handed pitchers Artie Lewicki and Zac Reininger have been optioned to the Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens. Reininger was thought to be in the mix for one of the final spots in the bullpen, but a rocky spring sees him on his way to the Mud Hens for more seasoning.
